Derrick was gowned up. And all the things attached are normal procedures for taking vitals for a newborn. He could have had a low sugar at birth and needed some D10 thru an IV. No big deal. He may have gone to mothers room or the NICU after this pic was taken. Since he was term if he stayed in NICU it was probably short-lived, 3 days or so. The bag of fluids could have been precautionary as well. This is the life of a newborn! Sometimes they need a little help adjusting especially if the labor was long and traumatic like it could have been here. It can wear them out just like it does the mother, and depleat their energy stores. I was a NICU and baby nurse for 7 years before retiring to my 4 kids and homeschool life.

Derrick and Jill don't have to tell us anything about the birth at all. They choose to decide what to share and what not to share. Frankly, while I respect and admire the Duggars, I said a number of times on this blog, when Josh was experiencing his difficulties, that this family needed to leave TV all together and go heal. It's comments like this, demanding details about their lives, that convinces me that I right. As much as I enjoy knowing what's going on with each family member, I would rather they give it all up and stay out of the limelight and heal.

Scalp IV's are common but not the only option. He also had a pulse oximeter to track his oxygen levels & heart rate (left foot), EKG leads to more accurately track his heart rate & rhythm (3 stickers with wires on his chest), an oxygen cannula in his nose, a blood pressure cuff (right leg), and a Posey splint/wrist restraint on his right hand which blocked whatever was in that hand from the photo (those are usually used to keep their hand still so an IV, line, or monitor stays in place). The photo could have been taken in the delivery room or the NICU, and was clearly taken shortly after birth since Derick was still in his delivery room clothing. However, Samuel's umbilical cord looked like he had been born at least a little while before the photo was taken (maybe a couple/few hours). This indicates that he had at least temporary difficulties after birth, but there are many possibilities that could have resolved quickly. He seems to be at home now. What is crystal clear is that Jill and Derick have chosen not to tell the world any further details at this time. We can respect that without attempting to minimize what we do know about Samuel's birth. It doesn't do anyone any good to distort the truth and act like everything was ok when clearly it wasn't. Stick to the facts, wish them well if so inclined, and then quit prying. We'll hear more if (and only if) they decide to share.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-81108838914647830642017-08-02T17:29:13.233-05:002017-08-02T17:29:13.233-05:00Agree
